you can technically do it, but its a big pain in the arse

because it requires moving save files around directly
or at least thats my understanding
jaunty zenith
Ah ok, so when it go lives with the new update it should just work fine then

yea, so your beta file will not carry over things to your vanilla file unless you really, really try

Things are subject to change as I believe I can edit resupply items directly now, so it will feel way more vanilla to use and possibly work for clients.
Here is an example of my widget idea as well as showing off a new call in.

Idk what that grinder thing does but looks sick
shell inlet
Grinder is placeholder text and image as I could not get the widget to change pages to switch to different call ins.
hollow socket
oh lol
shell inlet
The thing that gets called down in the video is a thumper, it basically just creates a minor damaging, fear blast. Was going to implement limited uses from the call in or a timer for it.
glossy hatch
so like, 1 damage with 500% fear?
shell inlet
It is whatever the SYIH blast does, after the main blast. So pretty much only useful vs swarmers and jellies.

Pretty cool overall, keep up the great work!

Are saves from the experimental branch and the main branch not interchangeable with one another?
I created a copy of my main save and wanted to use it on the experimental branch
glossy hatch
when you first open experimental, it should copy your main game and then split away from it
warm pulsar
just use the cheat terminal to acquire what you need
glossy hatch
there is also a cheat terminal inside the experimental space rig, which can give you practically anything, except weapon meshes
stable ridge
I think I may have opened the experimental branch before
but it would have been a while ago at this point, I have half the promotions on the experimental save than I do on the main one
don't suppose I could just copy the main save and save over the experimental save in file explorer?
glossy hatch
you could, you'd have to mess around a bunch with the files to get it right, with the naming and all
cuz everything is in the same folder
progress in experimental doesnt matter really tho, just use the terminal to save you the bother
stable ridge
fair point, cheers 
glossy hatch
cuz worst case scenario, you mess up the wrong save and delete your main one, then thats even more trouble
warm pulsar
you click subscribe, it downloads the mod, then you play the game
it's really no different from the steam workshop
oak urchin
oh. that's pretty sweet
i bet they went with mod.io because steam workshop is probably a pain in the bum to implement

do you need to move out all of your pre-existing mods when switching to the experimental branch?
warm pulsar
yes, if you manually installed mods in the pak folder you need to remove them.
heady sleet
do you still need bp mod manager with the new mod.io setup?
Only if the mod has it listed as a dependency.
storm hearth
with update 34.5 modding support, what will happen to those using mods before U34.5? Will they be also marked in the browser as using mods?

Only if you still have mods in the pak directory, all mods must be installed via modio otherwise you will be marked.

I'm looking for something like CVO but more "vanilla." It seems to put forth a lot of tweaks that are probably welcome, but not that necessary

Dreaming Heretic might be up your alley then. CVO is all or nothing, I won't be accommodating for other players' wishes. Not in the near future, at least. That'd require a full port of CVO to Blueprint modding.
stable swan
No, I don't imagine that would make sense
Like its clear to me that some changes are motivated/influenced by other changes etc.
I think the issue for me with CVO isn't that I don't trust you with the changes, iirc you guys are the ones who put out the ambition list doc for the last big patch, which I think I've agreed mostly with
dusty fulcrum
I am so excited. I am having a hard time working thinking about making mods.
stable swan
its that I don't have a good way to communicate the changes succintly to players who might join my game, and in way for them to meaningfully interact with the mod in a timeframe suitable for playing with randos
so I was thinking if theres something like CVO but much more minimalistic, where someone could reasonably scan a changelog for - that would suit me better

Maybe one potential way of handling smoothing out the the mid match joining interactivity issue is to come up with some default loadouts to choose from to get started. IDK, I've got to delve first into what the work you've done is, and then figure out what is technically practical.
stable swan
yeah I enjoy CVO for what it is, I'm wondering what can be done for its usabilty

You must have been confused by me crediting Drillboy Jenkins for his Minigun B-through Rebalance mod. In fact, the only thing I've actually used was the added MaxPenetrations variable, so if all other methods of balancing Leadstorm fail, I'll just flip the switch.

Examples of Verified mods would be QoL mods that do not impact gameplay, audio or visual mods that improve accessibility, cosmetics and SFX mods that you'll only experience yourself locally, and localized versions of in-game graphics.
You can use Verified mods along with your Regular Save Game. These mods will stay active even though you join a host who does not have those mods installed. Other players will not have to download those mods to join you. In effect, Verified mods are only active for you and do not alter the gameplay of any other players.\
livid willow
im not asking for a bigger reward or anything it just makes the game a bit more fun
stable swan
oh, that sounds more like an "approved" mod
Examples of Approved mods would be more challenging or alternative game modes, changes to weapon stats, and mods that moderately alter gameplay elements while still retaining progression in line with the regular game.
You can use Approved mods along with your Regular Save Game, meaning you can still earn XP and Resources for your regular progression while using them. If you join a game that does not have the same Approved Mods installed as you, those Mods will be disabled. Likewise, other players will automatically download the mods active in your game when joining.

I cannot speak for all mods, but I can mention an interaction that happens if you install Scoot OCs and CVO at the same time. Since both of these mods make changes to OSB_M1000 file, a databank for M1000's OCs, the one from Scoot OCs takes priority because it was the latest.

hey dose anyone know where the mod folder is on the experimental build is? i fucked my game i need to get the mods off
thx
stone heron
I'm half of the mind to make a lootbug farming mission type mod sometime. But I feel like that might be difficult.
The idea will be to start the mission with a similar setup to extraction. Except the refinery platform is a nutrient paste dispenser instead. The area around the dispenser is usually already a bit of a hole. So it serves like a holding pen for lootbugs.
You can't hurt lootbugs during the first stage of the mission, weapon fire and aoe won't damage them. During the mission you can pick up lootbugs by holding the pet key on them for a couple seconds. This will slow you down like with normal carrying. Throwing them will cause the lootbugs to roll up for a couple seconds like a baby shellback, letting you make ramps to collect them quicker.
There's different types of lootbugs. The normal vanilla ones. (Only they have a small chance to drop rare minerals as well during the mission that are tied to the biome like normal). And then you have food bugs. (These can be thrown into the refinery to make paste chunks. A loot bug can eat one paste chunk to start multiplying. Which stops the normal vanilla hassle of feeding them food as you might get 10 half full loot bugs.) There's only a limited amount of food bugs and you can't get more. 5-10 or so normal lootbugs. With a quota based on mission length. The game keeps track of all loot bugs spawned for the quota. So not just the ones you've captured.
Once you hit the quota, you get the option to shut down the food dispenser, and start killing bugs. You can always just delay until all the food bugs are used up. This gives you five minutes to kill all the bugs and deposit the minerals. Before the dispenser is shot into space and the pod lands.

#modio-feed message a mod shouldn’t be “verified” if it affects other people’s games. People joining should know it’s there. Thankfully it’s something trivial, but we’ll probably see more mods get “AimedForVerified” because technically only the host needs to have it installed
shell inlet
That literally only works for those who have it installed and since it is verified, people aren't forced to download it to join.
primal void
It works for everyone in the lobby as long as the host has it.

Which has `AimedForVerified`
My money is on approved because of this single sentence under verified. https://i.imgur.com/xADzdCd.png
Because this mod is enabled for everyone it, by definition, does not fit the verified status.
dusty lantern
It's one of those cases where the mod is so harmless and trivial it wouldn't hurt to be verified. But as others have said, the mod technically fits the approved category.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
primal void
Kinda defeats the purpose of labeling modded servers if you can have client-affecting mods on unlabelled servers.
It's a precedent I'd rather not set.
dusty lantern
Indeed. Most discussion involving the approved/verified categories has revolved around the extent of the mod's effects, it's easy to forget verified mods are basically invisible to clients now.

Hello fellow miners
I wanted to make this inquiry for a while but have failed to get it through properly, but I wanted to know about a modding tool for third perspective and replays of missions played in-game, through some type of modding tool, I've seen many examples of the "spectator" perspective in some community productions.
reasoning for my Inquiry is
- my interest in it
- some memes I would love to make with it
- how LONG i've been trying to find this type of tool
I really don't know where else to shove this question except the modding channel, all I need is a name and I'll be VERY happy, cheers

That would be very hard to work for replays of past missions because the game doesn't have anything remotely close to that, and being peer to peer it would be a mass of coding for the framework for it. the closest thing to what you are looking for is https://drg.mod.io/better-spectator. Some content creators use Ansel for other things around the space rig and maybe some things in game.

There are not any public mods to do that, so it is more than likely cheat engine or a trainer.
The modding server has a policy of no cheats like that.

i take it the old method is reliable or will it be getting fixed like the io?

Pak (old method) is the best way, but will be sandbox by default if on experimental.

The old method on the live branch will allow for progression. The old method on the current experimental build will not.

Anything that actually changes the game mechanics
honest nacelle
I guess you need to reflect on yourself and why you think a host only drop pod mode is useful
buoyant orchid
Because i dont want other people calling the droppod while im exploring
I want more control over my lobby as the host
Cos just kicking people isnt sufficient if you lose the ability to kick after the objective has been completed
Im not literally the only person this mod is for
Id say theres quite a few people that would benefit from it
honest nacelle
And that's from your point of view, have you considered what other players think when they see a server with such a mod enabled?
honest nacelle
And do you think that'll make your lobbies more barren?
buoyant orchid
i mean i get people who do respect the droppod button, i just wanna prevent randos just rushing the mission and spamming it immediately
its more of a failsafe against annoying players
honest nacelle
Guess it'll be a balance of gating players 😂
buoyant orchid
i already have my lobby name as "EXPLORE WHOLE CAVE BEFORE DROPPOD"
i just want to protect against people who either dont read or dont care
honest nacelle
And people still call early, dayum

its literally the one thing about drg that turns me away from it so thats why i asked

I’m not sure if that specifically has been done on its own

Wanna ask you. Does that menu look intuitive enough?
Context: quick message wheels mod configuration
primal void
Probably, though the 0 indexed labels may confuse non-programmers.
pale crescent
Fun thing these numbers are locally defined text so changing them is no problem
No idea why I started with zero
primal void
I'd assume 0 was up/North and then clockwise?
primal void
It being a square I might assume top-left was 0 but not knowing (or forgetting) that it's a square and not a circle might throw me.
pale crescent
I have a better idea - replace numbers with schemes of location
primal void
I was gonna mention using N/NE/E/etc.
Though that's less intuitive on a square than a circle
Top-left, top-center, etc are probably better for the square layout.
pale crescent
I don't think it is any bad that way

quick question, why can't I download the mods from mod.io? it says that you need to be in-game? i'm already in-game and still nothing changes ._.

quick question, why can't I download the mods from mod.io? it says that you need...
You need to press subscribe, it should download them. Also, make sure you are opening through the game and connecting steam account
small horizon
so basically i need to open the mod.io through steam browser?
are you on experimental?
real cipher
the game version? I think no, sry I'm still new at this ._.
small horizon
modding thru mod.io is only on the experimental branch rn
if you wanna try it out, close the game and go to DRG's steam properties
in the betas tab, you can swap to experimental

Air alert
Well lol I implied macteras here
Also these strings are all defined by the user so there is little point in suggesting me texts. Because there are no texts packed in the mod itself 😉

Add on a "Worse fuel canisters" mod and we have a deal
make it so you have to mine oil shale with the pickaxe and it only breaks in 10 hits
anything else doesn't work.
azure current
Gotta say.
Thank god Steam Workshop was not used for the modding scene of this game
gritty otter
Why is that?
azure current
Because steam workshop is by far the worst modding platform available right now
azure current
Why is that?
If you have mods that use other mods as dependencies and that dependency updates.
Steam forces you to update to the latest version. Potentially bricking your games as a result.
And there is no version control of the mods using steam workshop.
The search is atrocious.
If you search for "giant Bell" you get results for giant and Bell seperately and doing normal search optimizations like giant+Bell cause steam workshop to have an heart attack and refuse to give you any result what so ever.
Steam workshop was kinda made. And then never improved upon leaving it to be by far the worst platform out there.
Especially if you work with dependencies
honest nacelle
one click convenience at what cost D:
It's especially bad in games like tes/fo when there's so many mods and sometimes the mods you want only work within a few versions of each other on a specific version of the game.

It be great if people who also had fab molly installed could see your customized molly in game
As host

@ancient heath , i hate to ping devs usually but i wanna know if yall plan to support xbox with your modding
it said in the log that you could add support but it was unclear if you plan to
shell inlet
The plan is to, which is one of the reasons they chose modio.
digital sundial
thank you ^^
nova cedar
So if they join you and have fabulous molly installed they will see the hosts molly
digital sundial
ok good
one more question
what all can be modded currently?
like, if i wanted to..... could i add more secondary objectives?
nova cedar
No, its mostly just client side visual mods and mods that change mechanics, like add more difficulties
shell inlet
Yes, you can make a custom secondary objective.
nova cedar
Can you make mods that add more enemy types?
shell inlet
Not easily, but I have made mods that add new variants and gameplay to existing enemies.
shell inlet
If what the terrain looks like is what matters, yes, can just change the material(s). Entirely new cave gen is not really possible but you could fill it with custom models of stuff.

So got a question, I checked out the experimental branch for the mod support but for some reason I though players not on experimental branch would be able to join my server. But, when I am playing the normal drg I have joined people using mods. My question is how can I set up a lobby with mods that anyone can join?
tender coral
those ppl with mods had them installed w/o the experimental branch
as to installing them, idk sorry
stuck reef
I see.
edgy wharf
Depending on what mods you have installed in the mod support system - people will be able to join you without installing mods themselves.
If you have verfied mods on - anyone canjoin you and you won't have to install mods (but also only you will see/be affected by the mods) - With approved mods on anyone can join, but they'll have to also install the mods that the host is playing with and the system will disable any approved mods you have enabled when joining.
So if you want to have a funny hat on that only you can see - np - anyone can join you. If you want to play a haz 6 mod, everyone will be prompted to install the mod. This is in order to avoid mod conflics and desyncs.
Also all servers with approved mods are tagged - so you don't by accident join a modded server.

If the original creator agrees, otherwise it's very much not recommended.
true gale
I would imagine the original creator would've uploaded their mod to the Mod.io by now.
The github also doesn't have a specific way to contact the mod maker as far as I know. I'll look more into that.
There are only 2 mods on my mod list that I really want to keep but haven't found their way onto the Mod.io. Both would be approved mods as they don't affect progression.
I'll wait until U35 drops then I'll consider doing what I mentioned, and I'll leave my discord username in the mods description in case the creator wants me to take the mod down so they can upload it themselves.
honest nacelle
I would imagine the original creator would've uploaded their mod to the Mod.io b...
not your creation, don't upload it
if you want it on mod.io either make a new mod based on that, or find someone to make it for you
it's not a "do first, ask later" thing
true gale
After a bit of looking, ArcticEcho is the publisher of custom waves, I'm sure they already have a lot on their plate, but it'll eventually end up going on there. Idk if Yarby is still active or plans to add any of their mods. The github says something along the lines of "moving to Mod.io" so hopefully all of the mods will end up there in the long run.
I'll just have to be patient or find a new way to make things work in an entertaining way.
dusty lantern
We'll be poking modders to move their mods to mod.io as part of the announcement when the update drops. But yeah, it's just a matter of waiting for people to fix/upload their mods.
true gale
We'll be poking modders to move their mods to mod.io as part of the announcement...
Awesome. Thanks for the info on that.
I'm super excited for everything to move over. I'm really enjoying modded gameplay. Also, thanks for all your hard work with the mods, your effort really shows.
dusty lantern
No worries. It's just nice to see mods finally getting official support, we didn't really expect this to happen as soon as it did to be honest.
heady sleet
As others have said its not a good idea to upload mods to modio that aren't yours, even with the creators approval. What if the mod breaks, are you going to remove it or be able to fix it? It's better to ask the author to upload it instead.

need our friend mino to come good and get Class Icons Default to modio 😄

mod.io is something new to me, but I haven't figured out how to download and install mods.
how do I?
so I need the experimental branch

When I get a mod on mod.io it says it will be instaled when I log into mod.io in...
it automatically downloads, all you need to do is to check if the mod is in the list as "pending to install" and press "apply changes"
spring hull
is it in the ESC menu in game under modding
warm agate
yes
spring hull
I dont see it there
warm agate
do you linked your steam account?
spring hull
right now yes
Will the experimental save carry over do you know

can anyone tell me where can i have the mod downloaded😩
i can only find information in wed mod.io but cant have mod downloaed
dusty lantern
If you've got the game open, the mods should automatically download when you subscribe to them
muted fox
@idle mulch don't post stuff like that
warm agate
thats all ?
do you linked your steam to mod.io account?
warm agate
are you on experimental branch?
nova whale
you mean game version?
warm agate
yes, experimental build
nova whale
official version i think
warm agate
you need exp version for now
nova whale
can i find experimental version on steam?
warm agate
go to "'properties" -> "beta-versions" and choose experimental branch
it will create a separate save file so all your official progress is safe
nova whale
i am checking ,thanks anyway👍

answer to question in conversation from #drg-chat I didn't wanna get in trouble for being offtopic with:
if you install the Spawn Menu mod, you can spawn AI-less enemies in the space rig and then spawn the mission start drop pod to load in your weapons to make a jury-rigged very non-QoL friendly firing range in front of the bar
some weapon mechanics are kinda buggy admittedly though

is there a mod that erase the red line when using IW?
technically my mod "Remove All Particles" does this, but ofcourse this also removes a bunch of other particles

hello fellow dwarf, with the new update coming i was wondering if their is some mod that increase the number of loadout and if yes where and how to install it

I don't think there is a mod that increases the loadout yet

If I was better at modeling, and modding, I'd wanna make a mod that gives Bosco a new skin of a lil pangolin pet riding a gunner drone
And or to keep it simple, bosco has a lil pangolin riding on him

hello fellow dwarf, with the new update coming i was wondering if their is some ...
IIRC, modders can't even do that. Might be wrong but I'm pretty sure it's not within their capabilities, for some reasons.
gloomy cosmos
to bad but thanks for the information
dusty holly
yeah, otherwise I think this mod would already be around 😛

A lot of the mods I installed on experimental (such as Starship Troopers) don't work, could it be because they aren't updated for the experimental version of the game or is it a mistake on my end?
Quitting the game and relaunching fixed the problem.
unreal quail
When in doubt, Disband Team. This reloads the Space Rig, allowing mod changes to take effect.
languid timber
I tried that and it didn't work on its own
warm pulsar
did you install their required dependencies?
gaunt locust
Did you click apply changes button in esc modding menu?
@warm pulsar Doesn't this download automatically?
warm pulsar
no
or maybe it does, I haven't focused my attention on the changes. Either way it's generally a good idea to make sure any dependencies are installed when something isn't working.
languid timber
did you install their required dependencies?
Yes but I think the problem was that I installed everything at the same time, as it seems that the ones that depended on Blueprint were the ones that didn't load
